loneliness - having no friends and being socially disconnected

I have no friends. I am excruciatingly lonely. Usually it's not something I talk about because with loneliness comes shame (for me at least) but loneliness has been a theme throughout my entire life. It's become so big now, it's just a part of me.

I've built up a fortress to protect myself, but in doing so, I unintentionally barricaded myself in with nothing but creative projects to distract from the tornado of loneliness I felt.

Making these kinds of videos is an outlet to that loneliness. And I just hope that someone out there watches this and feels less alone with being lonely. I really do understand it.

(I apologise for not scripting this video, I just couldn't do it...this video had to come from the heart.)
